    I like the hire, think he is a decent coach, as recruiting doesn't matter at USC, because they will get theirs even with a Pariah at the helm.

    Sark doesn't know what comes after 8 in the win column. But I am sure he will find out shortly.

    Problem is I doubt he wins a national title at USC, which is what the fanbase demands now.

    Overall, the program was a dumpster fire. Maybe they can find their long term coach after Sark brings stability back.

    Would love to see Mora make his way up to UW. That's all I am saying.

    Horrible hire.

    He's 34-29 at Washington.

    His best year was 8-4 in 5 years on the job.

    He ran three different offenses in 5 years.

    A dead junkie could recruit well at USC, so spare me the "he's a good recruiter" angle. Jim Mora is now officially THE BOSS in L.A.

    I mean Mora has said before that he would love to make his way back up to Seattle being a UW alum and all. I don't expect him to make the move from UCLA but a man can wish right?

    Peterson straight turned down the USC job.

    He isn't going to UDUB after that. Or at least I would be shocked. Only reason is geography.

    I don't see it.

    As the UDUB fan mentioned earlier in the thread, Mora is UDUBS best option.

    Actually there is much more to it than that.

    Petersen has a kid who requires a lot of medical attention, and Children's Hospital in Seattle is where the kid goes for treatment now.

    It would make it much easier for him and his family if they were in Seattle.

    I am trying to find the audio link now.

    Cowherd has it on his twitter now.

    I'll post the link when the second I find it.

    Right on.

    If this truly happens, UDUB is the winner.

    Peterson is a helluva coach that has turned down big gig after big gig. Washington being a lot smaller gig than he has refused.

    I'd be really happy for the PAC if this happens. This conference is stacking coaches right now, especially now that Kiffin is gone.

    Always good.

    As mentioned, a crack head could recruit 5 stars to USC. Hell, they would probably already have an in to many of the kids parents that way.

    LA schools recruit themselves. JJgold could pull in a top 25 recruiting class at USC without ever leaving Jersey. The fact that everyone kept saying "well, Kiffin is an elite recruiter" was a slight at Kiffin.

    Don't feel bad for the guy. He is about to be the highest paid assistant coach in the nation.

    If not that, then he will get a shot at a gig he has no business getting. He's in a good spot professionally.

    i feel bad for this guy. he got played...

    "Washington freshman quarterback Troy Williams, a Los Angeles native, expressed his displeasure with the move, writing: "Don't ever commit cus of a coach. Faker then a 3 dollar bill." The tweet was later deleted."

    Your post is also kind of funny since it comes from a guy whose crude avatar seems to lead some people to believe that you are a fan of a school that just lost your head coach and one of your coordinators to a rival school.

    Preciate it Chalky, you good pples.

    Yeah, I hope he gets paid pretty well somewhere, since he left USC today, and it seems like he will.

    Also, I'll be betting on your boys all season in pac-12 b-ball play.

    It was just a little rough seeing Duke lose the other night so I got a little pissed off.

    Ironically it was a default avatar back when I registered. I am from Washington though and I follow the Huskies so at the time it only seemed fitting to choose it. I will say though that losing Steve "7 Win" Sarkisian definitely didn't hurt, I see it more as an opportunity for the UW to get back on it's feet with a new, improved coach. Sark's time was nearing an end and I think he knew it too. I just found it amusing that Ed gets boned by USC after picking up a Kiffin infested program and turning it into a bowl competitor this year.

    It's all good.

    However, if you want street cred, lose Duke as a favorite team. There is no worse a look than Duke gear.

    Ogeron may end up head coach at FAU, as long as he lays off the weed.

    I think Sark did a pretty good job at UW. He had to deal with major injuries every year, way worse than most programs. If I was him, I wouldn't have left Seattle. Seemed like a good situation for him.

    Happy for Peterson, I think he would have been the best option for USC with his ability to get LA kids to come up and play in freezing Boise, he could have monopolized SoCal over time IMO.

    And stop thinking that USC has the same ring to it as it once did. Kiffin killed that rep all on his own. It's still really strong, but no longer the gold standard. What is the gold standard now in CA? I don't know, but when programs like UCLA, Zona, ASU, Stanford improve like they have, not to mention every other Pac-12 school digging people out of there, you're not going to get the best SoCal talent every year anymore, you're just not. People around here act like it's still the Leinart/Bush/Snoop Dogg days.

    Orgeron did the right thing. Got away from that slimy program that didn't give him the respect he deserved, and used this year to springboard him back into a HC job for a program that wants him as their #1. Tough to say how well he'll do, he did a great job at USC but awful at Ole Miss. No matter how well/poorly he does, his recruiting rep will always land him a job somewhere.

    horrible hire by usc, you only replace orgeron with a big name, pat haden should have his rhodes scholarship rescinded, he waits to fire kiffin way too long and he makes a lateral move at best here.

    I still can't believe that Ed didn't get the job! He did one heck of a job turning that teams around, as fast as he did!
